Hi can anyone shed light on this?

P&L sales figure is a monthly figure; debtors is a quarterly figure. To calculate debtors days, should we multiply by 30/365 days or 90/365 days, can anyone advise please?

Debtors days (average collection period) = debtors / daily sales  = debtors / (monthly sales / 30).

Debtors is a balance sheet figure (i.e. "on date" figure), so you need no to dived or multiply by 365.
